SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Homer Small Boat Harbor 
Vessel Survey; OMB Control Number 0710-HSBH.
    Needs and Uses: The Alaska District of the Corps of Engineers is 
currently conducting a general investigation into the feasibility of 
building a second harbor in Homer, Alaska. The small boat harbor which 
exists there currently is overcrowded, and enlarging it is not feasible 
given the geography of the area. This project would be intended to 
reduce delays and safety risks resultant from overcrowding by building 
a second harbor adjacent to the existing one. The purpose of this 
survey is to collect data crucial to estimate delay times and 
associated costs in the existing conditions upon which formulated 
alternative plans will be compared. The data collected will also inform 
benefits associated with project alternatives. This data collection is 
essential for development of an accurate model because there is no 
readily available data on vessel movement patterns or delays in Alaskan 
small boat harbors, which are generally multi-use, serving commercial 
and subsistence fishing, freight, recreational boaters, and others. 
Many of these boats do not have Automatic Identification System 
transponders and harbors do not keep data on vessel movements or 
delays.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; individuals or 
households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,313.
    Number of Respondents: 1,750.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,750.
    Average Burden per Response: 45 minutes.
    Frequency: Once.
